Could be a bug. Works in Mac OS.

Thanks, I am not the only one in my office we all have the same problem.
The tab for the custom scale is blank and the cursor is like a spinning donut.
Please any body else???????
I can confirm that this is a bug for me too. But not only when using the marquee. I don't have a choice of scale to select for Entire Drawing-Current Zoom or Marquee Print Areas.

However, I am not seeing the spinning doughnut. I am using Windows 10 on this computer with ArchiCAD 19.

And it does not matter which printer I select.

Hi, this is an ARCHICAD 19 bug, custom scaling print options aren't available on either platform. The bug has been fixed and is planned to be part of the next update.
If you choose feet or inches as model units in Options > Project Preferences > Working Units > Model Unit, the custom scales bar will be empty. In the US, these units are defaults, so there is no need to change them, except if you would like to try working with decimals. As a workaround till the public update, the custom values can be added manually.
